What? This is possible? I was curious about fiddling with NewRPL, but assumed that it was only for the 50g, 49g and the like which originally had RPL. I wasn't wild about the cost of another 50g to play with NewRPL, but for these prices, maybe the 39gs is the ticket.

The number part of the keyboard seems similar between 39gs and 50g, but isn't the upper layout so different that you need stickers over everything?

So how does it work after the NewRPL changeover? Good points? Bad points?

Everything is working as expected; you nailed down the only bad point: keyboard assignments.
Claudio was thinking about compiling an ad-hoc version, but I think that this idea was discarded.

If anyone is interested in trying newRPL I believe that buying one of these 39gs is the most economical way.
